Combining Different Aspect Ratios in a Presentation
SlideRocket library slides and presentations can be added to presentations that have different aspect ratios. The aspect ratio of the library slide or presentation being dragged in will be changed to the aspect ratio of the open presentation.
Adding Library Slide to Presentation with Different Aspect Ratio
- Open presentation in Presentation Editor
- Click Library
- Drag desired library slide to Slide Tray
- If aspect ratio is different, pop-up will appear
- Select option
- Yes: Add copy of library slide to presentation and automatically adjust elements to match presentation
- No: Insert slide without adjusting its elements
- Cancel: Do not add slide
ADVANCED NOTE: Elements on converted slide will remain the same size and will automatically center. Larger content may hang off the edge of the canvas.
Combining Presentations with Different Aspect Ratios
- Open presentation in Presentation Editor
- Click Library next to Slide Tray
- Drag desired presentation to Slide Tray
ADVANCED NOTE: If the aspect ratios of the 2 presentations are different, the aspect ratio of the presentation being dragged in will adjust to match the other presentation. The elements on the slides will remain the same size and will automatically center. Larger content may hang off the right edge of the canvas.
